about

Kofi Owusu or More know by his stage name of Young Kof is a new original talent entering onto the urban music scene. On the 15th July 1983, Young Kof was the eldest of two children to be born to his Liverpudlian mother and Ghanaian father. In a scene renowned for aggressive lyrics and negative press, 25-year-old KOF is the diamond in the dirt. A fusion of Rap, R’n’B, dance genres, conscious lyrics and big beats that he describes as MESH, KOF’s talents lay not only in his unique and undeniable realism, but also in his soulful voice and melodic flow. Add that to his open and unrestricted approach to music and you can understand why he is considered a ‘breath of fresh air’ in the sometimes stagnant scene. “I like to fuse a lot of different types of music together. I listen to all sorts and I think it reflects that. Also the fact I sing and rap gives me an opportunity to use more than one method to get my message across” KOF has taken that approach and ran with it. Despite being classed as a ‘new artist’ by some KOF has already achieved consistent air play on stations such as BBC 1Xtra, Galaxy and Radio 1, and has opened up for international touring artists, in the process gaining a dedicated following; not only in the shape of his ever expanding fan base, but in respected music industry officials alike.
